Additional information

Fixed CVE-2013-0131: NVIDIA UNIX GPU Driver ARGB Cursor Buffer
Overflow in "NoScanout" Mode. This buffer overflow, which occurred
when an X client installed a large ARGB cursor on an X server
running in NoScanout mode, could cause a denial of service (e.g.,
an X server segmentation fault), or could be exploited to achieve
arbitrary code execution.

Installation instructions: Once you have downloaded the driver, change to the directory containing the driver package and install the driver by running, as root, tar xzf NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86_64-304.88.tar.gz && cd NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86_64-304.88 & make install

Then, edit your X configuration file so that the NVIDIA X driver will be used; this can normally be done by running nvidia-xconfig

Note that the list of supported GPU products is provided to indicate which GPUs are supported by a particular driver version. Some designs incorporating supported GPUs may not be compatible with the NVIDIA Linux driver: in particular, notebook and all-in-one desktop designs with switchable (hybrid) or Optimus graphics will not work if means to disable the integrated graphics in hardware are not available. Hardware designs will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so please consult with a system's manufacturer to determine whether that particular system is compatible.
